Let's talk about value4value. I listen to and get value from many podcasts. I'm ruthless and stop listening if they are boring. So when I listen, they are valuable to me. And it does not always mean mind-blowing tech stuff, it can be people who get high and play music.
We have this space age technology where we can stream money, directly to producers of content we value.
And then we send them two cents. I have produced more than a hundred episodes. Many of them have changed lives, literally. My total earn from all value4value was around 35$ - streamed sats and boosts. I don't have sponsors, even though I sometimes promote my own projects. Just the cost to produce one of these is 200$ or more (at least in my time, sometimes I rent a room / studio, although I'm pretty DIY). The cameras and microphones are not free either. Neither is server hosting (I self host, no cloud services, I run my own node).
I am not complaining though. I'm part of the problem. I did not change the default in the app - 10 sats per minute is ridiculous.
I changed my setting to 200 sats per minute to start with. 7 dollars per hour makes sense to me. It's cheaper than the tip I leave for a dinner. But if you have a few listeners that set it up, it might even pay for the production cost.
Your situation might be different. But let's use this space age technology for real, not as a proof of concept to send pennies.
Thanks to bitpunkfm (nprofile…0fdq) for making me see this clearly.
Repost if you do the same. You don't have to do 200 sats/min. Do whatever feels right. It's probably not the default.
